Behind The Lens

Location

This is during the tropical storm I was just taking photos coming back from Florida, people say right time right place. Just so happen to be the right place at that time!

Time

It’s going on about 5:30 6:00 in the evening, I was visiting my aunt in the hospital in Florida the month of July 17, 2019. Before this pandemic ever came around, my aunt passed away that year..

Lighting

This is one of the most amazing shots I’ve ever taken, and lightning is one of the hardest things to capture. I believe it was my aunt spirit showing me a different way new path.

Equipment

I am not as fortunate as a lot of other photographers, I do not own the camera. I have been using my iPhone to take all of my photos, sometimes it captures a perfect picture sometimes I just have to delete but most of the time it Comes out right !

Inspiration

I started taking photos quite a few years ago ever since I became disabled, got tired of sitting around doing nothing and started looking up in the sky and seeing the beauty around me and above me. This is how I got inspired to take photos, to let people see what I see!

Editing

No I did not

In my camera bag

I wish I had all of this equipment you guys talk about, but once again I am a disabled veteran trying my best to do with what I have..

Feedback

You always have to be alert to your surroundings, You never know when a great photo of pop up. It is hard to time anything but be prepared to take that photo that shot
